I recently bought my first new pair of earbuds in

I recently bought my first new pair of earbuds in over 15 years. The texture of them is awful and they tangle up something dreadful, so I am wrapping them in embroidery thread as I did their predecessors. I don't recall it being such a long and painful process. But my old ones were made of a colour changing rainbow thread, while now Im using offcuts from a previous project.

#summeristhebestdayoftheyear

1. Woke up to ☀️SUNSHINE☀️ so decided to have my tea on the back steps today. I absolutely despise being too hot, but "summer" in Scotland this year has actually just been a deeply grey fall, to the point where I get excited about every/any sunny day we get. Even if I go hide inside again after an hour.

2. Oregano harvest!
3. Our herb garden is small, but I love that we've not had to buy oregano since this plant started producing. The jar on the left is from this summer only and is already full!
4. The oregano plant post harvest. Honestly baffled by this plant. It just won't quit. (Not that I want it to!)
5. Sage harvest! First proper one - it's the first season it's been properly established.
6. :) 🌼🌱☀️🌿

I recently had a trip to Canada to sort through my

I recently had a trip to Canada to sort through my remaining belongings at my parents' house. It was my first trip back there without Em in 10 years, which felt very strange (but I do think I managed more sorting because of it). Two people mentioned specifically missing Em's energy - one person specified that it was "silly bean energy" which is 100% correct 😄. It was an odd trip in many ways, but it was also very special to get to spend 1-1 time with the people I did manage to see. I think my favourite though was getting to spend time just vibing with my brother at his cottage and canoing on the lake with him and getting to hear loons in person again. (LOONS!! god i miss loons)

TLDR: here's my happy face drinking from a dollar store mug i got and decided needing christening at the cottage to be a proper cabin mug 👍🏼💖

Y'ALL - I am so pleased! My first paid art commiss

finally daring to add colour to this tiny wooden spoon I carved from my parents in law's backyard apple tree

this is one of those "surely I didn't make this, it's much too excellent" projects - im so chuffed about how the apple carving turned out!
